TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN

Traverse City is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the county seat of Grand Traverse County, although a small portion extends into Leelanau County. It is the largest city in the 21-county Northern Michigan region. The population was 14,674 at the 2010 census. In 2008, the Traverse City micropolitan area was estimated to have a population of 142,316. Despite its modest population, Traverse City functions as the major commercial nexus for a seven-county area totaling over 2,700 square miles (7,000 km2) and, along with cross-peninsula counterpart Alpena, is one of Northern Lower Michigan's two anchor cities.

The Traverse City area is the largest producer of tart cherries in the United States. Near the time of cherry harvest, the city holds an annual week-long Cherry Festival in the first full week in July, attracting approximately 500,000 visitors annually. The surrounding countryside also produces grapes, and is one of the centers of wine production in the Midwest. Tourism, both summer and winter, is another key industry. The Traverse City area features varied natural attractions, including freshwater beaches, vineyards, a National Lakeshore, downhill skiing areas, and numerous forests. In 2009, TripAdvisor named Traverse City the number two small town travel destination in the United States.  Source: Wikipedia

 

ESTABLISHING A TRAVERSE CITY AREA RESOURCE CENTER

The first resource center was established long before the Internet between 1975 - 1980 at the Guild of Alternative Artists in Detroit, Michigan. We'd like another chance to manifest this for the Traverse City Area with your help, support and passionate cooperation.

Over the last ten years we've built a powerful "Resource Center 3.0" platform and business model to support local and regional development of resource centers for communications and networking, interdependence and economic self–reliance, and we'd like to offer this opportunity to the entire Michigan community.

This platform is more advanced than Facebook and focused on building and strengthening community locally. But our company doesn't have the market capitalization of Facebook so we'll require our partners, advertisers and sponsors to make a financial commitment to be able to support this development. There is no time more critical than right now!

So we're looking for the first twelve "Associate" partners ($48/month), the first 24 "Business" partners ($24/month) and the first 100 "Community" partners ($12/month) to make this feasible ASAP.

If we can get enough financial commitments we'll come back in three months and facilitate the Traverse City Area Resource Center regional resource center development and turn it over to a local ORGANIZING TEAM to operate.

That's our current vision and proposal for building and deploying these worldwide.
